Mission & Vision
At Grace, we believe God’s heart is for lost people. Whether it’s across the street, across the border or across an ocean, we want to equip and empower you to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. To read more about current and ongoing outreach opportunities, see the downloads in the sidebar.
Advocacy Teams (A-Teams)
An A-Team is a group of people who serve as supporters or champions for a particular missionary or missionary family. These teams can serve five primary functions:
- Enhance connectedness with our missionary through creative communication.
- Enhance a sense of belonging for our missionaries to the Grace body.
- Provide prayer support and pastoral care that is not always provided by sending agencies.
- Enhance world vision in the Grace body by being a spokesperson for the missionary and by continuing to recruit new families onto the advocacy team.
- Provide a family within a family when the missionary is in town.

Short-Term Mission Trips
Going on a short term mission trip has the potential of impacting the way you look at life, the way you own things and the way you relate to God and to His body. You will get to meet and interact with our ministry partners in another cultural setting and be exposed to what ministry looks like in their world. God will use these experiences to challenge your world view in a way nothing else can. Our most recent trips have been to Guatemala, Haiti, Reynosa (Mexico), and Zeway (Ethiopia).
